The US Has An Increased "Albedo?"

Found a really interesting entry called "Half of the USA is Covered in Snow" on a blog titled Watts Up With That?

Apparently there is snow everywhere right now. Is Pluto in Capricorn icing it up or what? The blog says that the US is half covered with snow right now. And Canada is completely covered with snow for the first time in 4 decades. That sounds like the Saturn-Uranus opposition cycle over Virgo/Pisces messing with our heads. Anyway, this creates an "Increased albedo," or "surface reflectivity," which makes for a slower ice melt.

Pretty interesting news for a new Moon conjunct Mars and Pluto on the Capricorn Aries Point!!!
